Release notes

December 2015 (v. 2.201)

NEW  Java RESTful API project that illustrates how to get data from Relational DBs and use our Java Compressor.

NEW  Drill-through for Mondrian is now available (using the Accelerator only).

NEW  The list of available aggregations for fields of "date string" and "datetime" data types was extended with Count and Distinct Count aggregations.

NEW HTML5/Flash The simplest way to define JSON data - in embedPivotComponent() function using data property. Even dataSourceType is not needed in this case:

flexmonster.embedPivotComponent(“”, “100%”, “600”, {
    data: [
        { “Category” : “Accessories”, “Color” : “green”, “Quantity” : 22 }
    ]
}, true);

NEW Flex The toolbar in Flex was updated with new icons and new options - 'Connect > To local JSON' and switcher between Compact, Classic and Flat grid views in 'Options'.

HTML5/ FLEX/ FLASH FIXES:

FIX  Closing Details View after switching to Flat View.

FIX Fixed issue with wrong numbers in distinct count.

FIX 2.2 version introduces simplified naming of dimensions, hierarchies, measures and members for CSV/JSON data sources. There were backward compatibility issues with naming in reports generated by previous component's versions which are fixed:

  • Backward compatibility in members naming for expands, drills and sorting works fine for both: report object and report XML.
  • Backward compatibility for addDataRecord() API call.
  • Backward compatibility for dimensions naming when data is set via API.
  • Backward compatibility for date hierarchies like [Date].[Date].[Year], [Date].[Date].[Month], [Date].[Date].[Day], where 3 and more elements were used in names.

FIX Connection to MSAS via XMLA: the issue when 'Invalid datasource or catalog' message was shown if there are no KPIs in cube was fixed.

FIX Issue with saving  fieldSeparator for TSV was fixed. Now it is saved in report XML the following way: <fieldSeparator><![CDATA[ ]]></fieldSeparator>

FIX Values of "datetime", "time" and "date string" fields are formatted based on date/time patterns only if Sum, Average, Product, Min or Max aggregation is selected for them. They are formatted as numbers if one of the following aggregations is used to aggregate them: Count, Distinct Count, % of Grand Total, % of Column, % of Row or Index.

FIX  When you select "date string" field with check box in Field List is put in rows by default.

Previously it was not configurable and the cells were exported as formatted strings.

Produced file will contain data in OCSV format.

HTML5/ FLEX/ FLASH FIXES:
